Was there any success with the alternator from your other engine?

Just attempting some testing on my NC30 now.

Not sure if anyones confirmed a straight voltage check across the battery with engine running- should be in the region of 13.8V, I'd be doing this first and then start ripping looms etc apart if necessary.

its usually fairly expensive. usually find one cheaper 2nd hand.
